Asyou can see bymy post in the DIY section the house renovating is in full swing, so I need to get my 5hit together and sort out all the other little bits.
I need to build some sort of server at home to store music, films, photos, etc. Also to run a phone system ( VOIP ), and hopefully share a lot of files with you lot once built.
it needs to be accessible from the following other bits of equipment
1. two small comps for the kids running more than likely xp home as they are being built around the epia m boards.
2. the missus netbook running again xp home - thankyou Virgin
3. my work laptop running xp pro
4. the xbox360
so what do i go for
windows home server edition, a full windows server edition, just a copy of media centre, windows vista or even windows 7?
The computer itself I have in mind will be a p4 with 1gb ram with as many hdd's drive as i can fit in the case - i have about 2tb of odd drives hanging around the place that i have been keeping for such a project.
as always all replies are greatly appreciated - im sure i will add more things to what it needs to do as i think of them
